Dalts mentions in the radio interview afterwards that the frequency of movement of the boards evident in race videos had changed and they knew they couldn't keep up....these would have been during the finals.
and a linear actuator is not a servo, and would not fit in an RC airplane, and can...
^^ absolutely correct snaerk, one vector per boat. i was looking at a course grid line? lat lon? that OR happened to be on during the swerve...
